block: cope with WRITE ZEROES failing in blkdev_issue_zeroout()
sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO: $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing __blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios. This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload support.
